238692 Mst.Arms. Richard Edward Magee Royal Navy HMS Pathfinder from:Gillingham, Kent (d.5th Sep 1914) My Grandfather was Ted Magee, I am very proud of him and HMS Pathfinder. His medals, Death Penny and letters were loaned to The Historic Dockyard, Chatham. Also on display is the painting of the sinking of HMS Pathfinder. On the 100th Commemoration I travelled to Eyemouth and boarded the dive boat belonging to Marine Quest. I joined with members of the BSAC. A wreath and Union Flag were placed on the wreck. When the divers returned, as principal guest of honour, I gave the eulogy above the wreck and placed a wreath on the North Sea. The divers presented me with the Union Flag. In the afternoon the Royal Navy arrived above the wreck and held a service. At 15.50 hours his great grandson Andrew placed a wreath at the Naval Memorial at Chatham. I have since commissioned a painting of HMS Pathfinder. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
